King Kong - Too Much Monkey

I saw this the other night, and Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. Was it long. It felt like a REALLY, REALLY long movie, and I think it could have been neatly edited into a much more effective 120 minutes.

Naomi Watts: So very pretty, and so very talented, was asked to do three things all the way through the movie: 1) The "I'm scared" face, 2) The "No! Don't hurt him!" face and 3) The longing/innocent/virtuous face.

Also, Adrien Brody, though vaguely cute, is not leading man material, and my post-Pianist crush on him is officially dead.
